The Empire Vanquish marker is a symbol of power. The incomparable performance and key design elements meet every need of the elite paintball player. The Vanquish uses an adapted Pressure Balanced Spool Valve engine that has been transformed to reduce first shot drop off and increase efficiency. Empire is the pinnacle of advanced technology, where a hyper-accurate pressure transducer has replaced the gauge to provide input pressure readings. The extra large OLED screen and 5-way joystick navigation provide an ultra intuitive user interface for the considerable board options that caters to any player’s desired setup. The innovative design allows the entire marker to be maintained using the push-button bolt removal system and yet only requires a single hex wrench for every screw. The hinged body easily splits for quick and easy access to the board and USB interface, where custom Empire software
allows you to change settings and design your own custom boot-up screen via USB cable and computer. The Vanquish shoots super-smooth, super-quiet and super-accurate with the carbon fiber Super Freak barrel. Empire has created the new standard in paintball and with the Vanquish in your hands, you will defeat any challenger.

I bought this brand new, and this is one of the smoothest guns I've ever shot. It is very similar to the luxe however in my opinion it is much better. The only downside is I am not a fan of the cf freak barrel. I purchased a dye boomstick and it shoots like a dream.
